BACKGROUND ART

A fluoropolymer containing repeating units having a fluorinated alicyclic structure in its main chain is excellent in physical properties such as optical characteristics (such as transparency and durable light resistance) and water and oil repellency.

As a cyclic polymerizable compound which forms the above repeating units, a polyfluoroalkenyl vinyl ether such as CF₂═CFOCF₂CF₂CF═CF₂ has been known (e.g. Patent Document 1).

Further, a fluoropolymer containing repeating units having a fluorinated alicyclic structure in its main chain and having a functional group is excellent in the above physical properties and in addition, physical properties derived from the above functional group can be developed, and such a polymer is applied to various fields (e.g. a resist material for lithography) (e.g. Patent Document 2).

As a cyclic polymerizable compound which forms the above repeating units, Patent Document 2 discloses a fluoroalkadiene having a functional group (such as CF₂═CFCF₂C(CF₃)(OH)CH₂CH═CH₂).

Further, as a fluoroalkadiene having a group analogues to a carboxyl group, Patent Document 3 discloses 1,1,2-trifluoro-4-alkoxycarbonyl-1,6-heptadiene (CF₂═CFCH₂CH(C(O)OC(CH₃)₃)CH₂CH═CH₂ or the like).

Further, also with respect to a fluoroalkadiene having a group analogues to a carboxyl group, only the above compound as disclosed in Patent Document 3 has been known, and no other compounds have been known.

Means to Solve the Problems

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems and provides a novel fluoroalkadiene having a carboxyl group or a group analogues thereto, such as 1,1,2,3,3-pentafluoro-4-alkoxycarbonyl-1,6-heptadiene, a polymer thereof and a method for producing the compound.
